What customers say

A peaceful, scenic spot with friendly owners. Wild camping feel, basic but clean facilities. Great value for nature lovers. Pub nearby. Expect longer grass and occasional light issues in toilets.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Everything! Suzie and Sam are amazing hosts and have a lovely site. The site was quite busy but so peaceful, didn’t hear anyone during the day or at night!
Lots of walks directly from the site, either, onto the adjoining moorland or into the nearby village of Ravenstonedale.
There are a couple of composting toilets and washing up stations on the site, along with fresh water.

Angel D.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Weather - Awesome. Pitch - Amazing. Composting toilets were perfect and fit with the Eco friendly vibe. Bins to separate your waste, if you can’t take it home. Drinking water tap and washing up area proper cute! Suzie greeted us on arrival and gave us options where to camp. Along with a fire pit and logs. Then just let us get in with it which is what we prefer! Knew how to get hold of her if needs be!

Disliked The only disappointment was only having one night free!! We will definitely be back!

Julia S.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Very quiet location, up a long single track road. Beautiful setting, so peaceful..
Suzie was great at communicating before our arrival and very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. She directed us to a small field at one end of the site which we ended up having all to ourselves.
Loved being able to have a campfire 🔥
Will definitely come again 100%

Disliked It's a basic site, but the composting toilets were the cleanest we've ever seen, in nice sheds with a sink. Much better than a chemical portaloo. There was plenty of places for drinking water and the site was kept very clean by everyone
It's a shame we could only stay one night but if we had more time we'd have to go somewhere with hot showers.
Definitely a, warm weather place, as it's out of the way.

Liked Wonderful owner, Suzie, who made us feel very welcome.
She couldn’t do enough for us.
We camped next to the Beck, so it was lovely for the dogs to paddle in.
Facilities were clean and did their job.
